1. Elite SC
Available Models
The Elite SC is available in two colors: black (RF200A) and beige (RF300A).
Description
The Elite SC is a double-wide cabinet that’s big enough to house your LAN equipment and act as a standalone
data center. The cabinet is constructed with a rugged 14-gauge folded-steel frame, and it holds 700 pounds
(317.5 kg) of equipment. It’s preassembled, so it’s easy to set up and use. Cabinet components include: fully
louvered rear door, one pair of solid lift-off side panels, one 16-position power strip with circuit breaker and
12-ft. (3.7-m) cord, a Plexiglas®front door, two stationary shelves (300-pound capacity each), rubber feet, and
leveling glides. Cabinet dimensions are 72"H x 48"W x 32"D (182.9 x 121.9 x 81.3 cm).
Additional features:
• Top panel has cable-management punch-outs, plus vented slots for extra cooling.
• Extra wide (48") and extra deep (32") for accommodating servers and other large equipment.
• Plexiglas front doors and vented rear doors have three-point latch and lock.

Available Models
The Elite SC with Installed Dual 19" EIA Mounting Kit is available in two colors: black (RF199A-RKMT)

If you haven’t done so already, read Chapter 1 for more information about the Elite SC. This version of the
cabinet also includes 19" EIA mounting rails that fit side by side in the cabinet. Eight mounting rails are
provided, and the rails are adjustable in one-inch horizontal increments. Use the rails for two- or four-point
equipment mounting. The mounting kit also increases the weight capacity of the cabinet from 700 pounds
to 1000 pounds (454 kg). Best of all, when your order the RF199A-RKMT or RF299A-RKMT, we’ll install the
Rackmount Kit in your Elite SC!
